e-health: Orange are equipping a hospital in Colombia for the launch of an innovative branch

The San Vicente de Paúl hospital, a non-profit private institution in Colombia, has chosen us to integrate and deliver communication services in a new branch comprising 12 specialized services, inaugurated this month (November 2011).
The hospital’s goal is to become a recognized international center of excellence in the delivery of highly complex health services, such as transplants.
 

Orange are providing them with an innovative real-time hospital asset and resource tracking service, based on radio frequency identification technology (RFID). This system is used for wheelchairs and other portable tools, as well as hospital staff who have RFID tags in their badges.
More specifically, this machine-to-machine solution makes it possible to immediately determine the location of key surgeons and specialists within the hospital.
 


In addition to delivering, integrating and managing the hospital’s overall infrastructure, we are also managing the hospital’s data center solutions, including an application for storing confidential patient information, developed specially for this project.
In addition, we are providing a nurse-call system based on cloud IP telephony. This service brings the patient and nurse closer together, establishing immediate telephone communication with a nurse to efficiently facilitate the patient’s request.
 
By bridging advanced communication technologies and healthcare solutions, we are providing innovative responses to the needs of patients, health professionals and institutions.
